Question : Can you suggest a method to remove oil (hydrocarbon) from seeds based on your understanding of r DNA technology and chemistry of oil?

Answer»

Solution :OIL is a lipid synthesized by the condensation of one MOLECULE of glycerol and three molecules of fatty ACIDS. Thus the oil from the seeds can be removed by PREVENTING the syntheis of either glycerol or the enzyme lipsase which catalyses the synthesis of oil. It can beachieved by non-functioning the genes coding for the enzyme lipase or the enzyme required for the synthesis of glycerol.
